Survey: Greek salad tops list of most popular workday lunch foods

What's your favorite food to eat for lunch? According to a national survey by GrubHub Seamless, working Americans can't get enough Greek salad.

The company analyzed data from orders made across the country and narrowed them to just the "work" addresses (rather than "home" addresses). They also made sure to only include weekday orders in order to narrow in on workday lunch trends. While GrubHub Seamless has a network of over 25,000 restaurants, when it comes to ordering lunch, healthier options prevailed.

"Large cities have so many different restaurants and cuisines to choose from on GrubHub Seamless, but at the end of the day, our data shows that working Americans are opting for some traditionally healthier lunchtime dishes -- regardless of the type of restaurant they are ordering from," GrubHub Seamless spokesperson Allie Mack told Parade.com.

Greek salad isn't the only leafy green item people are reaching for. It was immediately followed by garden salad and Caesar salad, with house salad also making the top 10.

"The Greek salad is a versatile dish that often includes a choice of protein or vegetable, so it's a sensible lunch option with tons of flavor," Mack added. "When compared to some other salads that made the rankings, Greek salads are more often considered a complete meal as opposed to a side dish."

In the nation's largest cities those salads were largely ranked in the top 10, but other trends emerged.

For instance, workers in Los Angeles prefer miso soup more than other cities and San Franciscans are keen on burritos, while Bostonians order more sushi than anyone else. Washington D.C. may be the healthiest city of all based on its lunch choices; half of its top 10 are salads.
